Which mechanism provides formal oversight of sanitation practices?

• A. The facility's resource
• B. FAC
• C. FMJS
• D. Through accreditation agencies

Answer: (D)

Formal oversight comes from external, independent bodies that set sanitation standards and verify that a facility meets them. Accreditation agencies assess practices through audits, review records, observe procedures, and certify facilities that comply, then require periodic re-evaluations to ensure ongoing adherence. This external verification provides objective accountability and recognized legitimacy for sanitation quality, beyond what internal resources or specific internal programs alone can offer.
